A universal message of love and hope, from the Prayer of St. Francis. Francis, like the Baal Shem Tov, pushed the envelope of the religious world he was a part of, to show us all a new way.
lyrics
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, let me show pardon,
Where there is doubting,
Let me bring Your faith.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is despair, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, let me shine Your light,
Where there is sadness,
Let me bring Your joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may seek
not so much to be consoled, as to be the one to console,
not so much understood as to understand,
not to be loved, but to love another
make me an instrument of your peace.
For it is in the giving that we do receive
It is in pardoning that we all are pardoned,
And it is in dying, that we are born again.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
